Why does the problem just appeal if I build the app and not if i start it in IDLE? Where can I start to search the problem?

You can start the application from the command line and that might give you some more clues. The way to do that for "HelloWorld.app" is to run  "HelloWorld.app/Contents/MacOS/HelloWorld" as a normal shell command in the terminal application.  Any error messages that get printed during startup are now shown in the terminal window.
